I love experimenting and coming up with new recipes. You never know how it will turn out! I'm so impressed with this one! It turned out way better than I could have imagined! They're delicious & go well with any Italian dish you might be serving. I could eat them alone with a little marinara sauce on top! It's also a great option for vegetarians, vegans or people wanting protein without eating animal protein!
